    Food was good. Service was very good. The only issue was a group that was extremely loud. Other than that, a nice place.

    Really amazing food!! I went with my long distance boyfriend and we were beyond excited to try this place out- he loved it so much. It was super ambient as well- very romantic atmosphere. 11/10

    There were 7 of us there for brunch. The place was very busy but service was still friendly and efficient. Brunch menu had many wonderful choices and all our food was excellent. We all had a great time and will definitely go back.

    Everything was great, the cozy warm patio for people who want out door dining, food was good and the hot water with lemon was great for cold night, but just one thing. We wish there was a waitressing training for what is the right distance talking to customers. Some were doing right not too close but some got too close to our face and to our food. Health concerns one shouldn’t talk too close or above to the food.

    Plenty of available tables for a 11:30 am midweek lunch, though we made a reservation. Quickly seated, I had the roasted chicken panini and my wife had the smoked brisket panini, and we shared the brussels sprouts. Meat was moist and tasty, portions adequate and we left satiated. Service was efficient, friendly, and attentive.

    Great atmosphere and service. Food is usually great but i had the porchetta (pork belly) sandwich and the meat rind was so hard, i was scared it would chip my teeth. Would not order again…

    All in all everything was very good, the only real issue was getting our food all at the same time. Kevin was very attentive and eager to be sure our experience was great. The only other thing was that the servers were not diligent with our request, for additional condiments, i.e. syrup, salt & pepper, etc

    First time eating here and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We started with the grilled Caesar. It was probably the best Caesar I’ve ever had! We had the blackened salmon which was phenomenal. The service was great. We will definitely be back again and again!
